how do u say a HOOS

I think Americans tend to be more respectful of non-American pronunciations than some other countries that are more homogenous.

to oh muhs.

^^ this is how I've always pronounced it

Automatic thread bump. This poll is closing tomorrow.

Apart from putting on a Mario accent, how the heck else would one pronounce Passantino apart from the only way it can *be* pronounced?

puh-SAN-tih-noh

Seriously? Nawwww. "Pah-san-teen-o".

passanti no

in my head i still read it as "pass a tea no"

Isn't the Spanish "u" much shorter than "oo" though? Wouldn't "Hewsteen" be better?

Mexican pronunciation of Spanish is different from the Spanish speakers in Europe. That is all I know about the Spanish language.

Automatic thread bump. This poll's results are now in.

Wow.

yeah this is shocking to me tbh

some people have no idea how to speak english, apparently

Reveal the secret! I need to know if it's correct to giggle whenever I think about "Who's the Boss"

say "hoosten" out loud - it's basically impossible to say it as "hews-steen"

"hoosteen" obv

yeah, but we're not saying "hoosteen" we're saying "Hoos"

oh yeah i would pronounce the hoos in hoosteen differently than just hoos. so i voted jews.

say "hoosten" out loud - it's basically impossible to say it as "hooce-steen"

i'm not sure which way that goes

yeah that was confusing but sara hell otm

yeah but since "hoos" is derived completely from "hoosteen" it would make sense that one would pronounce "hoos" in the same manner that they would pronounce "hoosteen"

you don't go from saying "juicebox" to "jewsbox"

yeah but it's not hoos, it's HOOS

alright whatever - i can take solace in the fact that i'm not going around pronouncing HOOS wrong!! that would be mightily embarrassing imo

only defending the honor of "hoos" could drag me into one of these asinine pronunciation threads

but i never said pronounce the hoos- in hoosteen like "juice."

i'm just saying it's like a different word to me

there needs to be a new invite only board for pronunciation threads and i would like to not be invited

I thought y'all knew it was short for Hoosteen (as in Justin) so I'ma assume some of you are retarded imo.

^^

xp - you could always accrue a few more suggest bans and not have to worry about ilx pronunciation threads at all

i'm sure the jewsteens can make that happen

it would be a pretty stupid thing to sb someone over

didn't stop me!

lmao @ all of u

fwiw sarge has received voice mails from me declaring myself "u man HOOS" so he knows tmnt2 the secret of the hoos

yeah but since "hoos" is derived completely from "hoosteen" it would make sense that one would pronounce "hoos" in the same manner that they would pronounce "hoosteen"

But what I'm saying is that you don't ever pronounce "hoos" as a discrete syllable in "hoosteen." Or at least I don't: I say it "hoo-steen." Which makes neither "hooze" nor "hooce" ideal; to be honest, I think I imagine the "s" as being vocalized only slightly.

^^ yep.

yes i also think of it as hoo-steen, not hoos-teen

Who's teen?

ice crime

need to know how tf you people pronounce 'juice' that has anything to do with 'justin' (this just in)

oh wait aussie never mind lol

it's pronouncing "justin" as if it were a spanish word

that's still hoos like jews! ?

just to get this straight: you pronounce it like you would pronounce 'Houston' the only difference being the 'een' instead of 'on' ('un')?

i mean i know i'm arguing with homedude whose name it is but this is nyoos to me

nah - "hoo-steen" not "hyoo-steen"

hyoo-steen we have a problem
